I watch the mechanic next door many times find the lugs too tight whereby his impact gun won't begin to loosen them. That is what a breaker bar is for. And yes, sometimes even a snipe is needed as well.
If lugs are too tight, a cheap breaker bar will probably do just that... break. I have seen even the toughest of them break (at the socket insert). Remember too there are different socket sizes. There are 3/8" and 1/2" drives. Bigger is usually stronger for handling the torque.
